    S size, next is md5sum and T is timestamp. c represents that it's config file.

    In other words, above output means,
    Size, md5sum and Timestamp of file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf have been changed but it's a config file so there is no need to worry.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    So what is the md5sum all about? Thanks.

    It's a check system to verify that your downloads have not been corrupted. See this link for more info.
